QUESTIONS REGARDING SUMMER 2019 INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS & IMPROVEMENTS

A?:Answer

In Canada, the window of opportunity to perform infrastructure works and improvements is limited due to the weather. As a result, all infrastructure owners planned their major work blocks within the same period.

Beginning Summer 2019, Metrolinx and our infrastructure owner, CN, will be starting infrastructure upgrades at several locations on VIA Rail’s network. This work block should be limited to the Québec City-Windsor corridor.

A?:Answer

Construction should happen during summer 2019. These dates could however be subject to revision or adjustment as necessary.

For Summer 2019, there will be three work blocks.

Bridge rehabilitation project at Danforth, performed by Metrolinx, starting summer 2019 and will be taking place during weekends.

Infrastructure upgrade performed by CN between August 2 and August 21, 2019 at the Hamilton Junction.

Infrastructure upgrade performed by CN between August 21 and September 3, 2019 between Kings and Grafton.

Please note that dates can be subject to changes and revision.

A?:Answer

Infrastructure upgrade and rehabilitation works can have an impact on train schedules in the Québec City-Windsor corridor. Depending on the work block, up to 30 minutes delays can be expected and some trains could be terminated at an earlier station.
